Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You, in your Lark
You're a mark, you're a screamer
You know how to hustle
Daddy is a rare millionaire
I don't care
Yeah, you got the muscle
I got the news
[Chorus]
Yes, dear, how did you know?
Can't you see our love will grow?
[Verse 2]
Take it in your hand
All the sirens and the band
Get to bendin' my ear
How was I to know 'bout the warm soulful secret
You been keepin' for years?
I got the news
[Chorus]
Slow down, I'll tell you when
I may never walk again
[Refrain]
Broadway Duchess
Darling, if you only knew
Half as much as
Everybody thinks you do
What I hear may be true
I would still be proud to know you
[Bridge]
Spanish kissin', see it glisten
You came ragin', love rampagin'
[Verse 3]
I got the news
[Outro]
Yes, dear, how did you know?
Can't you see our love will grow?
